Hi @AtAshTag and all When trying to ping, the remote server (RemoteAddr: 18.157.41.176:15030,) fails, looks to me like an outage on the AWS server, like it’s just like yesterday, 21st October. Failed to find a server through matchmaking: Error: player.queueing\_failure.208 Epic Support said previously The “player.queueing\_failure.208” error in Epic Games, likely encountered in games like Fortnite, **indicates a failure during matchmaking, often caused by server overload, network issues, or corrupted game files**. To fix it, first check the **[Epic Games server status](https://status.epicgames.com/)** and try restarting the game and your internet connection. If the problem persists, verify the game files on PC or try clearing the console cache. I posted on this previously [Matchmaking Error player.queueing\_failure.208 : can’t join island - General / Issues and Bug Reporting - Epic Developer Community Forums](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/matchmaking-error-player-queueing-failure-208-can-t-join-island/2540149/2) Its either the network or the Server gone offline, this is possibly another related problem [Epic Games Public Status](https://status.epicgames.com/) ```plaintext investigating - After monitoring, our recent fix didn’t work as intended. Rocket League Matchmaking and Game Services are still experiencing issues. We're continuing to work towards a fix. ``` ---

Hi @AtAshTag There will be no surprise that BR is hosted on backup Matchmaking servers They state for Battle Royal Experiences “**We expect (our built-in) retry functionality to limit the impact of this disruption, but session/lobby invites may fai**l.” ---
